Matthew Mould

Matthew’s research is in gravitational-wave physics / astronomy / astrophysics. He studies the formation, evolution, and mergers of compact-object binaries containing black holes and neutron stars. In particular, Matthew’s work is focused on the relativistic dynamics of binary black holes using numerical and analytical methods. He is also interested in measuring the properties of gravitational-wave sources and their underlying populations using Bayesian inference and machine learning. Matthew received his integrated masters undergraduate degree in Mathematics and Physics from the University of Warwick (UK) in 2019 and his PhD in Physics and Astronomy from the University of Birmingham (UK) in 2023. He joined the LIGO Lab in September 2023.
